My sister and I have a $20 bet going. I think Eastwood will get the best director gong (three previous noms and two wins in this category already), she thinks Scorsese will (five noms and no wins at all in this category, because the Academy voters seem to hate his guts for unknown reasons).

I'm tempted to wager money on the best actor category as well in favour of Peter O'Toole, but that might not be such a good prospect, sadly.
